I a: WOMAN AND HOME. _ A PLEA FOR THE MUCH MISUNDER« STOOD STEP-MOTHER. Physical Training for the Girls—Why the Baby Cries-~Chronic Shoppers Secret of Rod Cheeks— Women in England-—0dds and Ends. To the imagination the stepmother stands out as some one coming between father and children, clouding the joys of home, intro- ducing strictness and sipruness where free dom reigned before. There is no necossity of this picture, yet we all see instances that justify it. Sometimes in a family all ardor and impulse, the step-mother comes as a stoic or a religions rigorist, freezing all tha innocent life around her, conscientiously at tempting high ends by injudicious means, and unable to sce why she fails in her effort. Sometimes, on the other hand, she comes to relax and demoralize with meraly golfish and worldly thoughts a young he usehold brought up to a high sense of nobleness and un- worldly aims. In any such case the father finds himself almost helpless: either he is under a glamour of sdmirntion and sees nothing wrong, . if he finds out his mistake, he probably paralyze by preoccupation, which takes him away from his home, and keeps him toiling for the bread of the family. After all, it is the mother, even if that reis tion be a substitr ted one, who is close to the she has hours with them while the father has minutes; and after be has once made bis choion, change i$ impossible, even though the children suffer But sre not these cases, after all, ceptions! Looking at it merely from children's side, it seems to me that in most eas s this much-abused step-mother comes AS a help and a gain. It is easy to see her er- rors and faults. The respectable gossips of the neighborhood may be safely relied upon for that service, But who can estimate the perils from which even she may have saved those children! Somebody, some woman, must care for them.

Boston Trav- eler, ¥xcess of Women iu England, Aro you aware, my dear, of tho appalling fact that there are $45,000 more women than men in Great Britain? At least, there was this very awful disparity in pumbers at the last census, and I don't suppose that the dis- proportion has decreased since then. In fact, it seemsthat it is likely to become greater aud greater, for more girls are born than boys, and men do not, us a rule, live so long as women, This immense fact means, perhaps, very little to married women, un- they are mothers of a large and oxpen- give family of daughters; but to the unnp propriated among us it is fraught with the direst meaning. Weare all taught from our nursery days upward to look forward to the time when we shall be married “and live happy forever after.” Do not all the nursery stories and fairy tales end with wedding- bells? And I suppose that it is natural for a woman to like to have a home of ber own and a husband and children There are women who would despise us for making such a confession: but do you not think with me that an unshared life seems incom Well. dear, in the face of all this are dreadful six figures, the female over plus of 48.000.

The particular form of church fair abuse which has attracted Mr. Moody's attention fs the custom of setting up a pretty young lady in the midst of the fair paraphernalia and allowing her to be kissed, at 55 cents a kiss, by any and all comers. Of course the who come to a church fair are sup- in theory to be respectable and other- wise unobjectionable from a Kisser's point of view. but in fact there is no guarantee, and no way of getting or enforcing a guarantos, of anything of the kind. It is not easy to understand how a refined young lady could subanit to become every body's sweetheart, even at a fair for the ben- ofit of the church, without more or less con- sriousness of degradation, and, no matier how benevolent the motive of her submission to the process, those who patronise the kiss- ing stand are very likely to entertain some- what less respect for her forever afterward. «- Philadelphia Times. pee ple poset $e Melting Point of Lard. * Mr. A.
